A Photometric Study of the Eclipsing Binary Star V958 Monocerotis
Abstract
Presented are new precision multi-band observations for the eclipsing binary V958 Mon. The orbital period is less than 0.3d and the light curves exhibit total eclipses. A new ephemeris was determined and a simultaneous 4-color light curve solution was obtained with the Wilson-Devinney program. The geometric and photometric elements derived are consistent with a W-type contact binary.
